Zimbabwe And Zambia Sign MoU To Strengthen Cross-Border Medical Regulation
The Zambia Medicines Regulatory Authority (ZAMRA) and the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance cooperation in the regulation of medical products between the two countries.
The five-year agreement, signed on 17 June 2025, outlines a framework for collaboration in key regulatory areas.
These include the detection of substandard and falsified medicines, implementation of track-and-trace systems, and advancement of research in nanotechnology and biotechnology as applied to medicines and vaccines.
The MoU also aims to support the development of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) production and ensure the availability of safe and quality-assured medical products.
Under the agreement, the two authorities will cooperate through information sharing, capacity building, mutual recognition of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspections, and promotion of investment in the pharmaceutical sector across both countries.
MCAZ Director-General Richard Rukwata described the MoU as a significant step toward regional regulatory alignment, noting its potential to enhance efforts to prevent the circulation of substandard and falsified medicines. He said:
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in regional regulatory convergence. By working together, ZAMRA and MCAZ will leverage each other’s expertise and resources to strengthen the fight against substandard and falsified medical products and promote public health and safety in both nations.
ZAMRA Director-General Makomani Siyanga also welcomed the agreement, highlighting the shared goal of ensuring the availability of effective and safe medical products in both markets. He said:
This partnership underscores our shared commitment to ensuring that only safe, effective, and quality-assured medical products are accessible in our respective markets. It represents a proactive step toward harmonisation,
efficiency, and innovation in our regulatory systems.
Both agencies reiterated their commitment to strengthening regulatory systems and improving access to quality-assured healthcare products, aligning with regional efforts to advance Universal Health Coverage.
